BEYOND THE FLESH
$3,500.00
"In 'Beyond the Flesh', I explore the human quest for transcendence and spiritual connection. This piece captures the moment when the physical body becomes a mere vessel, and the soul reaches for the infinite. Through the subject's graceful pose and ethereal expression, I aim to convey the surrender, release, and liberation that comes with transcending the material world. My work invites the viewer to contemplate their own journey beyond the flesh, and to embrace the boundless potential of the human spirit because "The spiritual path is not a journey of discovery, but a journey of uncovering what's already within." -

Artist Statement
The title "Beyond the Flesh" suggests that the figure in the painting is transcending their physical body and connecting with a deeper, spiritual realm. The phrase "beyond the flesh" implies a movement beyond the limitations and constraints of the physical world, into a realm that is more profound and meaningful.
In this painting, the figure's pose, with his hands on his sides and face raised upwards, conveys a sense of release, surrender, and ascension. They are letting go of the earthly concerns and attachments, and reaching for something greater, something that goes beyond the confines of their physical existence.
The title "Beyond the Flesh" also hints at the idea that our true nature is not solely defined by our physical bodies, but by our spirits, our souls, and our connection to the universe. The painting, therefore, becomes a representation of the human quest for transcendence, spiritual growth, and self-realization.
